We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms. The problem apparently lies with legacy plug-ins and widgets not yet caught up with the most recent WordPress release. 6.8.1 dated May 7th. Our normal course of business is not effected but some of the visual features will be looking a bit janky until we get it fixed. To wit:
The Weblizar slider plug in we have used for 10+ year seems to have fallen off the beaten path. Our frequent visitors and clients will notice the ugly black background and small text. We hope we can continue working with Weblizar if they can restore the customization feature of their plug in.
- Posts are not updating across all platforms — particularly on X on iPhones. Usually a caching problem and not one we haven’t seen before.
- Some images will not center.
- Footer and right-side widgets not loading properly.
- Some, not all, slider images are not loading at high resolution.
The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade. The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be another PHP upgrade. There will likely be surprises but none that we cannot handle.
In any case, timeliness and normal content flow has not been interrupted. Much like the hardware in ICT software must also be maintained.
This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”
